The local Bernoulli limit conjecture for random tiles of Zd\mathbb{Z}^d

Fix an integer kk, and pick x[n]dx \in [n]^d uniformly at random. Let S\mathcal{S} be a random tile contained in [n][n], and let BkB_k be the kk-ball around xx. Local Bernoulli limit conjecture. The local limit of SBk\left.\mathcal{S}\right|_{B_k} as nn tends to infinity is a product measure of Bernoulli 13\frac{1}{3} random variables. Here, “local limit” is understood in the sense of the definition cited by the source. This conjecture predicts asymptotic local independence and density 13\frac{1}{3} for a uniformly sampled random tile; the source presents it among its concluding conjectures and gives no resolution.
